Description

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1760546935 advisory.

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: dvb-usb: az6027: fix null-ptr- deref in az6027_i2c_xfer() Wei Chen reports a kernel bug as blew: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017] ...

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI: processor: idle: Check acpi_fetch_acpi_dev() return value The return value of acpi_fetch_acpi_dev() could be NULL, which would cause a NULL pointer dereference to occur in acpi_device_hid(). [ rjw: Subject and changelog edits, added empty line after if () ] (CVE-2022-50327)

To simply fix it, we could just pass @sign kmalloc'd from crypt_message() and then we're done. Luckily, we don't seem to pass any other vmalloc'd buffers in smb_rqst::rq_iov... Instead, let's map the correct pages and offsets from vmalloc buffers as well in cifs_sg_set_buf() and then avoiding such oopses. (CVE-2022-50341)

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_conn: Fix crash on hci_create_cis_sync When attempting to connect multiple ISO sockets without using DEFER_SETUP may result in the following crash: BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in hci_create_cis_sync+0x18b/0x2b0 Read of size 2 at addr 0000000000000036 by task kworker/u3:1/50 CPU: 0 PID: 50 Comm: kworker/u3:1 Not tainted 6.0.0-rc7-02243-gb84a13ff4eda #4373 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.0-1.fc36 04/01/2014 Workqueue: hci0 hci_cmd_sync_work Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x19/0x27 kasan_report+0xbc/0xf0 ? hci_create_cis_sync+0x18b/0x2b0 hci_create_cis_sync+0x18b/0x2b0 ? get_link_mode+0xd0/0xd0 ? __ww_mutex_lock_slowpath+0x10/0x10 ? mutex_lock+0xe0/0xe0 ? get_link_mode+0xd0/0xd0 hci_cmd_sync_work+0x111/0x190 process_one_work+0x427/0x650 worker_thread+0x87/0x750 ? process_one_work+0x650/0x650 kthread+0x14e/0x180 ? kthread_exit+0x50/0x50 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 </TASK> (CVE-2022-50447)

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mt76: mt7915: Fix PCI device refcount leak in mt7915_pci_init_hif2() As comment of pci_get_device() says, it returns a pci_device with its refcount increased. We need to call pci_dev_put() to decrease the refcount. Save the return value of pci_get_device() and call pci_dev_put() to decrease the refcount. (CVE-2022-50464)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution
